Spun Silver Stump

[lavendertook]

So there's this stripped-down, bark-less tree stump along the path around the lake which has wonderful patterns in it that I really like.


In the right light, it looks like spun silver. I took these shots in April.






See all the shades and patterns?



I'm not sure if the first pic or this one is my favorite. This one has more textures.



Such odd little swirls.



Yay for natural Picasso boobies and paisley patterns! A very retro stump you feel like pulling up an orange plastic chair and sitting down next to.



Here's to give you an idea of what the whole stump looks like. The swirls I'm looking at above are toward the bottom center of it.

So which pic do you like best?

i am going to be very tree-hugging and say that i like them all *best*. It's like children: you can't pic a fave, because they all have their own unique and wonderful qualities. I have to say, though, that some of them remind me of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" I guess this would be "Starry Night, by Tree". Sort of like "Leaf, by Niggle". Yet different.

It's the swirliness and texture of them.
